DEFINITION

Noun

The colloquial name of Seah Street.

由来
  • 海南三街与海南一街（即密陀路）为平行道路，横跨桥北路（North Bridge Road）和美芝路（Beach Road）两条主要道路。
  • 位于海南一街和美芝路交界处的琼州天后宫和海南会馆，分别是早期南来的海南人的信仰和社群中心。
  • 从海南一街算起，巴米士街（Purvis Street）和佘街（Seah Street）分别为海南二街和海南三街，而过了海南三街之后便是新加坡著名的莱佛士酒店（Raffles Hotel）。
  • 除了主祀海神妈祖的琼州天后宫和照应海南社群的海南会馆，以上三条街的范围内也可找到多处售卖海南咖啡、美食及小吃的餐厅。
  • 在1950至1960年代，海南三街上同乡会与公司（会馆）林立，当中以海南籍海员的同乡会——“新合盛”较为闻名。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Seah Street spans between North Bridge Road and Beach Road, running parallel to Purvis Street and Middle Road.
  • Situated at the intersection of Middle Road and Beach Road, the Kheng Chiu Tin Hou Kong temple and Hainan Hwee Kuan served as places of worship and community centres for the early immigrants from Hainan.
  • Parallel to Middle Road (“海南一街”, meaning “first Hainan street”) is Purvis Street, followed by Seah Street, which are known as “海南二街” (“second Hainan street”) and “海南三街” (“third Hainan street”), respectively. After Seah Street, one can find the renowned Raffles Hotel.
  • Apart from the Kheng Chiu Tin Hou Kong temple, which is dedicated to Mazu, and the Hainan Hwee Kuan, which catered to the needs of the Hainanese community, eateries selling Hainanese coffee, cuisine, and snacks were also found at the three aforementioned streets.
  • From the 1950s to the 1960s, Seah Street was home to many clan associations and organisations. One of the more well-known ones was “新合盛”, an association for Hainanese sailors.
